Mike: I answered you when you posted in that other thread. I erased my second comment (post in a new thread)
1) you should not use uppercase, it is considered shouting, and is harder to read

every button on the Pronto uses an icon (even the ones that come with the Pronto) all icons come from bitmap files. There are two conditions
1) file must not be saved in more then 256 colors
2) file must fit on screen

What you do is add a button in PE and then dblclk it to get to the button properties. Then you click on the icon tab and load the bmp file. (in PE V2 and PPE you dblclik the empty slot in PE V1.05 you do load)

selected= while button is pushed.
the most important slot is the active unselected

Just FYI I tried scanning in a dvd cover and reducing it to gray scale and to the maximum pixel size allowed (240x219). It was pretty illegible on a pronto. Possibly could be better on a prontopro in color but I wouldn't hold out much hope...
